What Is a Double-Hung Window?

Single- and double-hung windows look similar from a distance, as they both have upper and lower sashes. The key difference is that double-hung windows have two operable sashes you can move up and down to control ventilation. Whereas a single-hung window’s upper sash is fixed in place, you can only move the bottom sash up and down.

Single-Hung vs. Double-Hung Windows

The primary difference between single-hung and double-hung windows lies in how the sashes operate. Other differentiators include:

• Cost: Because double-hung windows have more moving parts, they tend to be slightly higher in cost than single-hung windows.
• Indoor air quality: Because you can open both sashes, your home generally gets better ventilation with double-hung windows.
• Energy savings: Featuring low air leakage and resistance to condensation, Zen Windows’ ENERGY STAR® award-winning replacement windows offer incredible energy efficiency, particularly our double-paned and triple-paned models, which feature gas insulation between the panes.

No matter which style of double-hung window you choose, expert installation ensures your windows operate with optimal energy efficiency.
